Basic introduction Chinese name: 2008 Mexico City crash Time of accident: November 4, 2008 Death toll: 16 people (including 9 people on board and 7 people on the ground) Crash location: Mexico City Overview, aircraft model introduction, investigation results, After the fact, overview November 4, 2008. A Learjet 45 crashed into the residential and commercial district of Las Lomas in Mexico City, killing nine people on board, including then Mexican Interior Minister Juan Camilo Mourinho, and seven people on the ground. The crash happened during rush hour in Las Vegas. The cause of the crash was that the pilot, who was not qualified to fly, was too close to the wake turbulence of a Boeing 767 passenger plane and lost control, causing the plane to eventually roll and crash. Model introduction: The Learjet 45 is an aircraft specially built to meet the needs of ultralight business jet users. It has excellent performance and is known as the "King of Small Jets". It has the most comfortable cabin among ultralight business jets. Produced by the Learjet subsidiary of Canada's Bombardier Company, it is safer and more convenient than the previous model. Its improved version of the Learjet 45XR reduces the balance field length and improves the payload-range capability. The aircraft's main advantages include greater flexibility, shorter climb times in hot and plateau conditions and higher cruise speeds, improved carrying capacity, increased flexibility and significantly enhanced rapid climb capabilities. Investigation Results On November 3, 2009, the head of the Mexican *** investigation team announced the final accident investigation report at a press conference, stating that the cause of the 2008 crash had been identified. The head of the investigation team said that at that time, two planes were flying on the same flight path near the Mexico City International Airport in the Mexican capital. The light business jet that Interior Minister Mourinho was traveling on decelerated too slowly and came too close to one of the planes. The tail of the Boeing 767 was affected by the powerful air vortex ejected by the Boeing 767. In addition, the weather was calm and windless that night, and the pilot's flight qualifications were falsified, making it impossible to correctly judge the distance to the leading aircraft. Various factors eventually led to the crash of the aircraft. After the incident, Mexican authorities shut down two flight academies suspected of issuing false training files to pilots. This accident was recorded in the 8th episode of Season 14 of "The Catastrophe".
